  • What sports media is missing!!

    This is an exceptional podcast. The host stands out for his honesty and humility—he isn’t afraid to admit when he’s wrong, own his flaws, and still connect in a genuine way with both his family and everyday listeners.

    I look forward to every episode, and I never miss anything he releases. The range of guests is outstanding, bringing fresh stories and diverse perspectives on sports over the years.

    The elitist Colin “Cowturd” has bought and is selling the media coolaid on ND! Listened for a very long, very disappointed in your ND take, doesn’t fit anything you’ve ever said about having the best teams in. Don’t give me schedule - A&M beat us by 1 point and Ark by only 3 points - a team we crushed at their place 56-13!!! ND could’ve won this year if they had been let in. 5 SEC teams is a joke and you know it, but you’ve been an SEC homer for years (though you’re trying to jump off that bandw... more

  • Episodes temporarily unavailable?

    Enjoy the podcasts and my complaint is more of a technical issue. Last few weeks I’ve been unable to listen to any of the Volumes episodes due to it saying “temporarily unavailable”. Every other podcast on other shows I follow work fine so it’s not an internet or phone issue. I’ve commented numerous times on the Facebook versions to address this issue but still no response or resolution. Fix this please.

  • Colin Good, Others are a Pass

    Enjoy Colin, have been listening for a while. However, really dislike all these other random podcast showing up and clogging up my podcast feed. . If I wanted to listen to them, I would subscribe to them separately. Please keep this clean and only include “the Colin cowherd podcast” as that’s what we are subscribing too. Thanks

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prime Cuts - Cowboys Crush The Draft, Did Rams Reach For Simpson? The Myth Of Michael Jordan, LIV Golf Goes Belly Up
Q: How did you view LIV? What about the coverage and the moral/ethical aspects?
The guest reflects that LIV represented a disruptive force in sports, complicated by journalsim ethics and sponsorships, while also noting the broader context of government and corporate ties to sports investments, and acknowledging ongoing debates about coverage versus joining the league.
Rory McIlroy Stories: The Masters Win, Historical Rank, Tiger Woods
Q: Does he have a chance to win this weekend? How are his last three rounds?
Alan Shipnuck discusses Rory's strong form and renewed confidence, suggesting he is a serious contender and could mount a spirited defense despite any rust or back issues.
Prime Cuts - Final Four Preview, Tiger’s Troubles, Elite NBA Draft Class
Q: Is AJ DeVonsa the likely number one pick if the Utah Jazz have the first overall choice?
Yes, based on his Utah prep and BYU ties, he's perceived as the prototypical top pick with strong positional fit, but medicals and development will matter.
Prime Cuts - Final Four Preview, Tiger’s Troubles, Elite NBA Draft Class
Q: What do you do with Darren Peterson? If you were a GM, could you draft him number one?
The eye test is inconsistent, so you'd need thorough medicals and a clear understanding of his physical condition and mindset; the decision hinges on medicals and long-term durability.
Prime Cuts - Dr. J Talks Talks A.B.A., Done With The Draft Combine, Bears Aren’t Moving To Indiana, LeBron’s Importance To NBA
Q: Why did you choose the ABA path over staying with the NBA or pursuing Olympic play?
I accepted an offer that financially and professionally made sense at the time, understanding that the ABA could offer opportunities that the NBA and Olympic path didn't, even though it meant sacrificing Olympic participation.
